If a founder comes to a pitch with patents (provisional, pending, or granted), is that a plus or minus for you?
Lots of angel syndicates and pre-seed funds ask about patents in their application process, you guys have a lot of them yourselves, but logically, if you're a small company without the ability to defend a patent in court, isn't it more of a liability to reveal details via a patent given you lack the means to stop potential infringers?
Also... what's it like to get sued by Apple? Googled your names and saw some articles re Simon and Apple. Seems like you came out fine, but that's worst-nightmare material for sure.
